One huge thing that I had a problem with: Maz never got around to letting us know how she got Luke’s (or rather Anakin’s) lightsaber. I’m no film expert, but the final film in the trilogy would have been the perfect time to unwind that yarn.
The Rey Palpatine reveal was exactly what I had expected since TFA. The moment she lunged at Kylo with a lightsaber the exact way Sidious did during his fight against Mace Windu, I pretty much knew.
This is shaping up to be nothing more than fan fiction with an HBO budget.
I’m still interested to find out how it all ends, but I’m just not moved by the story.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but when I think “Swashbuckling adventure,” and “The spirit of the old West,” I automatically think of Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Something I’m not exactly understanding: how come the Mandalorians are making such a big deal about not removing their helmets when there are numerous canonical examples (film and tv) that dispute such a tradition?
I wish John Meacham had brought up Grover Cleveland when talking about Presidential health cover-ups. That story is fascinating, and not often told.

A trash can is a home the same way a tent by the overpass is a home: It’s not. Everyone may be fine with him living in a trash can for 50 years, but that doesn’t make him any less homeless.
